Download or read book And Sometimes Dreaming written by Barbara Sher Tinsley and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in l938, Barbara Sher Tinsley grew up in Gloversville, New York. Taken to the movies on Saturdays after age four, there she learned about World War II's horror "stories" and in family conversations. Some family members had immigrated from Poland and Russia. In the l940s, many movies were musicals. Her mother sang and Barbara learned to love those songs. At five, she began piano lessons and began reading. She could distinguish instrumental sounds from each other, which was important for subsequent poetic efforts, begun at age eight or nine. She wed poetry with feature writing for her high school newspaper in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Two of her works written when she was 16 are included in this book (Nos. 10 and 14). She was her class salutatorian. Intrigued by history, languages (French, Spanish, and later Italian and German), Barbara made many trips abroad. Two years of family life in Paris, Florence, and Southern Spain) improved her language skills. (Nos. 56, 7, 15, 29, 42, 63, 115) Nothing could have made a larger imprint on her poetry than a solid foundation in the humanities. The author earned a B.A. from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. A Woodrow Wilson fellowship took her to Cal, Berkeley. After the birth of two children (punctuated by many solo trips to Europe, and prolonged residence abroad with her family), Barbara finally completed her Ph.D. at Stanford, and then received a Fulbright Fellowship to Strasbourg, France.
Download or read book Concerning the Book that is the Body of the Beloved written by Gregory Orr and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2012-12-18 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The heart of Orr’s poetry, now as ever, is the enigmatic image . . . mystical, carnal, reflective, wry.”—San Francisco Review This book-length sequence of ecstatic, visionary lyrics recalls Rumi in its search for the beloved and its passionate belief in the healing qualities of art and beauty. Concerning the Book that is the Body of the Beloved is an incantatory celebration of the “Book,” an imaginary and self-gathering anthology of all the lyrics—both poems and songs—ever written. Each poem highlights a distinct aspect of the human condition, and together the poems explore love, loss, restoration, the beauty of the world, the beauty of the beloved, and the mystery of poetry. The purpose and power of the Book is to help us live by reconnecting us to the world and to our emotional lives. I put the beloved In a wooden coffin. The fire ate his body; The flames devoured her. I put the beloved In a poem or song. Tucked it between Two pages of the Book. How bright the flames. All of me burning, All of me on fire And still whole. There is nothing quite like this book—an “active anthology” in the best sense—where individuals find the poems and songs that will sustain them. Or the poems find them. Gregory Orr is the author of eight books of poetry, four volumes of criticism, and a memoir. He has received numerous awards for his work, most recently the Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Orr has taught at the University of Virginia since 1975 and was, for many years, the poetry editor of The Virginia Quarterly Review. He lives with his family in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
